The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read

The most jealous bitch you know is a man
“Passport full of stamps” That’s the biggest giveaway. They start traveling constantly to cope with their loneliness. They can’t sit still long enough to deal with it, so they keep booking the next trip. Instead of confronting the emptiness, they distract themselves with new destinations, new experiences, and temporary excitement. The passport fills up, but the loneliness is still waiting when they get back home. You dont need to announce it. 😂

I fell in love with this sentence: “Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach.”

To create is always to speak about childhood. It's always nostalgic. - Jean Genet in an interview from 1981

If you are born into a family with financial security I actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
Privilege is having rich parents who set you up for life so that you can spend your entire youth doing useless activism while never worrying about having a real job.

this is what intimacy is about to me, the literal phenomenon of remembering ppl in ways they’ve forgotten themselves
Just had drinks with a friend I haven't seen in five years and she remembered things about me I have forgotten

If you feel that a woman can "provoke" you into hitting her, than maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship with a woman. Ever.

The biggest lie I be telling people is “I respect your decision”. I really don’t at all. That shit sound stupid as hell to me but that’s your life to live

I need to experience a stadium full of people attending a Coldplay concert; all singing “Yellow” at the top of their lungs at least once in my life.

And if he calls you a terrible woman, you’re doing wonderfully and probably respect yourself
If a man calls you a “good woman,” take that as an insult.
